What limits do you see?

Just limitations around the component library. I find myself making certain product decisions because I get something "for free" with the framework, versus closer to what I know would be right for my use case (but require me to write my own component).

Great to see that Vuetify components are sufficient for helping you arrive at those UX realizations sooner than later. I will use it the same way.

Would you mind providing more concretely which components are insufficient? At a minimum, this would help me to anticipate potential hot spots during my own Vuetify adoption. Further, are your customizations creating value that maybe ought to be PR'd to their projects? Do you follow the same component design for your customs?

I think the list component, especially when used with a card, is a bit hard to mangle in all the ways I want. This is just me trying to overuse the components though, they aren’t bad on the surface.

The table components are good but not great. Find for some basic data displaying, but lack the flexibility I’m looking for in more complex views. There are some other options out there to solve this problem set though, like hot table.

I don’t use their slider component as it’s not featurful enough for me.

I use a different date and time picker.

Their select box input has some good qualities but also some issues with usability on mobile. You can work around them but it’s clunky.

As for me pushing back to them, I don’t think I will. My UI skills leave much to be desired. I’ve seen what skillful front end developers look like and I am not in their class. I’ll leave it to the experts :)

I'm curious if someone used vue with django and how's their experience

Django is a far bigger pain than Vue.

DRF is great for making APIs, authenticating and talking to the APIs with Vue is super easy and straight forward (I recommend using Axios and writing service files in Javascript to encapsulate the logic for actually calling the API.

The main pain point is that Django is kind of unwieldy to deploy, because you'll have your built Vue project (i.e. the dist/ folder by default), and then you'll have the collectstatic files from Django, so setting up a build process that combines all of that is a bit difficult.
